Bug description:  Strftime returns an empty string when using the %e conversion specifier

Description:
------------
When I use the strftime() function to format a date, it returns an empty
string when I use the %e conversion specifier in the formatting string.

I'm using the newest version of the WAMPSERVER package (with Apache
2.2.8).

I hope this helps you any further, do not hesitate to contact me if you
have further questions. Thanks!

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?PHP
$time = mktime();
echo "This does not work: " . strftime("%e", $time);
echo ", while dis does work: " . strftime("%d", $time);
echo ". Adding parameters doesn't fix the problem: " . strftime("%A %e %B
%Y", $time);
?>

Expected result:
----------------
This does not work: 18, while dis does work: 18. Adding parameters doesn't
fix the problem: Monday 18 August 2008

Actual result:
--------------
This does not work: , while dis does work: 18. Adding parameters doesn't
fix the problem:
